The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of those days. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an increase in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
